Jour 1 a débuté
While every event prior to Event #5 was $10,000 it's time that the buy-ins for the series are upped. From this point forward, every buy-in will be at least $25,000. This first event at this price point will be Event #5: $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em. Last year, it was Benjamin Pollak who bested a star-studded final table to take down the first place prize of $416,500 topping a field of 49 entries. The final table of that event was a true show stopper with Jason Koon, Isaac Haxton and this year's current points leader Stephen Chidwick all making an appearance. Seven players were paid in that event with a mincash being worth $61,250.
Today's action is set to begin at 2 p.m. local time. Players will begin with 125,000 in chips and the event will have the same structure as the previous No-Limit Hold'em events. Blinds will be 30-minutes starting at 500/1,000 with a 1,000 ante. Players will have a break every three levels. Play on Day 1 will conclude when the six players remain. Day 2 of the event will kick off at 1 p.m. and all the action will be live streamed from that point.
